Wow, thanks for writing such a thoughtful review! I appreciate that you were able to find the meaning in this, as well as the intentions behind the gameplay experience. It's a tough balance, but the goal was to create an experience that was entirely true to the character we play as, in an effort to have their story and experience be a mirror and means of "looking" at ourselves, and understanding everything a little better by walking their walk, at their pace, in their vision.
Thanks for making a video on it and sharing it!
